We have commented before now pn the continuing cancer control campaign, on the value of research, through which more successful methods of treatment, perhaps even of prevention are being sought, and on the need for general education as an aid to the early diagnosis which must be had if present methods of treatment are to be successful. We touch on the subject again now that the annual quest for funds is starting. The amount asked here is very small. It should be over-subscribed. At the same time we should like to help in the program of education, all important in the immediate phase of the campaign, education in cancer's danger signals. The Ameri can cancer society lists them as follows : Any sore that does not heal, particularly about the tongue, mouth or lips. A painless lump or thickening, especially in the breast, lip or tongue. Irregular bleeding or discharge from the nipple or any Doay opening. ' Progressive change in the color or size of a wart, mole or pirtnmarK. Persistent indigestion. . Persistent hoarseness, unexplained cough, or difficulty in swallowing. , Any change in the normal bowel habits. To these we add a few suggestions of our own. Don't indulge in self-diagnosis. Don't become panicky.'Some of the symptoms mentioned could be something else than cancer. But they are often enough indications of something very , serious to warrant reporting them to a doctor. Promptness in doing so is highly important. Cancer cells multiply slowly at first, but with increasing rapidity. It is vitally important that the growth be identified before it reaches the runaway stage. All this, as we have noted, is pretty much in the present. As to the future of cancer control, our greatest hopes lie in the results of experiment and research. The scope of such work must be increased and its continuity assured. The money which will pay or laboratory equipment and for the greater! program of scientific work will be d rnwn. in rnnKirlnmhlr, measure, from the fund now being raised. We are sure that the people pf Bend will give to it gladly. ' , COMMAND IN THE PACIFIC Assignment of General MacArthur to command all nrmy forces in the Pacific theater will allay any fear that the general might be denied the opportunity of directing the actual conquest of Japan. It is an opportunity which he has deserved, both for his service and because of demonstrated ability'. Heretofore, of. course, General MacArthur hw been in command in the southwestern Pacific. Any army command elsewhere in the Pacific would have been in name only. But developments, in April have made it apparent that army ac tion in the Pacific would no longer be restricted to the south west. The invasion of Okinawa, pointing a menacing finger at Formosa, seemed (and still seems) the beginning of a new dividing operation, this time to cut off the Japanese archi pelago trom all the island empire to the south. It seemed not impossible that MacArthur, .busily and successfully engaged in cleaning up $he Philippines, would be allowed to continue that job and to go on to a like task in the East Indies, still largely under Jap domination. It seemed an equally plausible theory that a separate theater would be recognized to the north of Okinawa and that an independent commander would bo assigned to the task of occupying the Jap homeland. Under the new arrangement, however, this northern area is merely added to MacArthur's responsibilities; so far as the army is concerned, and to Admiral Nimitz's responsibilities so far as the navy is concerned. t provides the opportunity for both commanders to win added honors-an opportunity, by thq way, whieh the commanded have fully eur ied Others Say ...

Eric discovered urgent business in Boston and Pat drove him to the train In the station wagon, f nineas . Hudson rode along with Pat and Erie to make some telephone calls. Bruce Tem ple ana Krenaa departed, almost immediately lor nome. Charley and I walked dispirit edly along the sea wall. Charley saw: . . Did you see Eric's face when Bruce Temple spilled that busi ness about Estoril?" "For a time," I said, "it was the only convenient way put of Eu rope." "Yes." Charley fingered his chin reflectively.' "I'd like to know when he was there." "Temple?" Charley looked at me. "Who else?" "Eric," I said. "Or Booker or Calavestri." I "I don't suppose it would help much," Charley said. "Nick, did Booker know of your connection with the Hudsons?" "He semed to," X said. "He kept talking about the little girl nn Rnannn Mill " ' T "I only saw him once," Charley went on, "but I noticed some thing" He paused. "Yes?" "His feet," Charley said. "They were big," Charley said. "In fact, they were enormous." "Lots of people have enormous feet," I said. Charley looked at me shrewdly. I knew what he was thinking. The implication in the presence of those Blakely and Hogdon shoes In the Hudson cellar were, to say the least, disturbing. It was beginning to look as if Phineas Hudson was In on this somehow. That only confused matters. We might have pursued it further, but we heard a car wheeling along the gravel drive. e e e It was Cass Hapes. He ap proached with a look half-worried and half-determined. "Well. Cass," I said, "you were right." "Mind If I have a look (n the cellar7" he asked. Neither of us minded although we were not over-sanguine about the results. We took him to the cellar. He said: "Where's this room?" We showed him the room. He glanced swiftly around. " "And the shoes?" he asked. I looked. The shoes were gone. Charley said: "They were right there under the cot.". Hapes included us both n a withering glance of scorn. "Why didn't somebody knuckle on to those?" ' "I thought fingerprints or something " Charley shrugged weakly. "Fingerprints! With those shoes wo didn't need fingerprints. There ' probably weren't more than four pairs that size stocked In all the stores In the city of Boston." "Maybe they weren't bought in Boston," I suggested. "I'd have liked the opportunity of finding that out. Now what about that fellow who entered your room last night, Mr. Trent?" , "Did Mr. Hudson tell you about thai, too?" ' "Mr. Hudson didn't tell me. Brcnda Temple called." Charley's head came up like a setter's. And I divined his thought. Why hadn't Mr. Hudson told Hapes? "Well," I said, "he shot at me and missed: that's about all. He was tall and tough." "He would be. You got his gun?" I pulled the gun out of my pocket and handed it over. Hapes registered disgust. "You weren't so careful about fingerprints here." "Look, Cass." I began to froth a little at the mouth. "I wrestled for that gun. It I hadn't, there would have been some lovely prints on the gun but no gun." Hapes merely stared at me stolidly. Then surprisingly enough he passed it back. "Know anyone who would want to kill you?" i "No." "I do." Charley smiled brightly. Hapes did not smile back. "Who?" "A mechanic with eyes like shoe buttons and a knife-scar on his face." ' 'What's his name?" That's your Job." answered Charley. He told Haws the storv of the tampering with his plane. Then he concluded: '.'but the euv who fired this gun wasn't after imick; inai is, not precisely." wna ao vou mean not nre- ciseiy; VThe shooting of that gun was a defensive act Just as the slug ging in the basement. If that fellow had really wanted Nick out of the way, you'd have had your corpse and a nice fat murder to work on." "I'll have the murder yet," said Hapes bluntly. "Sorry to have disappointed you," I remarked. "Listen, Mr. Trent." Hapes be came quite earnest. "When you've been a general practitioner for 20 years, you don't need X-rays to detect the measles. You can smell 'em. Well. It's the same in do. lice work.' I can smell murder, and before long we'll have one." with that comforting thoueht. Hapes left us. And It was char acteristic of his New England laconicism, that when he passed Pat and her father coming through the gate in the station wagon, his greeting was Imoer-i ceptlble from where I. stood if, in laci, mere naa Deen any greet. Ing at all. Cass Hapes seemed not to ime us. tTo Be Continued) Washington Column By Peter Edson (NEA Suft Correspondent) Washington, D. C. Movements to introduce in state legislatures full employment bills patterned closely on the national full em Dlovment bill introduced in con gress by Senators Murray of Montana, Wagner of New York, Thomas of Utah and O'Mahoney of Wyoming, are being watched in Washington with closest inter est. California is leading off this procession, with a, state full em ployment bill sponsored by the 36 democratic members of the state legislature. Accompanying the California bill is a resolution me morializing congress to pass a national full employment bill as a necessary companion piece of legislation to the proposed state law. - A similar bill is expected to be introduced In the New York state legislature in the near future, and from advices and inquires re ceived in Washington from vari ous state capitals, there may be other state law-making bodies considering such measures this year, when 44 of the 48 are in session. The California bill follows closely .on the pattern of the par ent full employment bill intro duced in the U. S- senate, with the one important exception that it makes the primary responsi bility for supporting maximum employment a function of the state government, and calls on the federal government to supple ment the state aid only to the ex tent that the state government is not able to meet its unemploy ment problem for its own citizens. By Incorporating this provision in the California bill, one ot the major criticisms of the federal bill has been removed.

FOUNTAIN SERVICE LUNCHEONS HOME-MADE PIES SPORTSMEN'S HEADQUARTERS DOUTHIT'S the first draft of a full employ ment bill, late in 1944, one of the cries raised against it was that it was more federal paternalism, more making the national govern ment responsible for the welfare of all the citizens without effort on their part. One of the big kicks against WPA was that lt by-passed local government. By having a state government assume the primary responsibility, the federal govern ment's load would be materially lightened and the move to put more of the functions of govern ment back on the state level would oe considerably lurthered. Aside from this one change, the California bill picks up much of the language of the revised Mur ray-Wagner-Thomas - O'Mahoney bill as introduced in the U. S. senate In January. The governor would be re quired to submit to the state leg islature an annual budget esti mate on the total state economy, public as well as private, for the following year. Included in the budget would be an estimate of the labor force, and the number of Job opportunities. On that basis, the state legislature would be called upon to develop new in dustries, develop state resources and encourage through state ae Kempster B.
